Default vibration after brake drum change

hi,

so i replaced both rear brake drums(just the drums) because of excessive rust and they were also very old. i first replaced the left one and it drove and braked fine. i then replaced the right one and now it seems to vibrate when i brake.

is this a big problem? should i not continue to drive the car? the vibration is very slight, should i just ignore it?

if i need to correct it what do i need to do?

thank you.

1996 honda civic with 150,xxx miles automatic by the way. (i don't think i have ABS)

Always use new shoes when you replace the drums.
